Barges, canoes, dinghies, gondolas, rafts, ships, and sailboats that I remember . . .

Barges, canoes, dinghies, gondolas, rafts, ships, and sailboats that I remember . . .
Memories, Seixal - 1952
The prevalent mix of smells, pine wood, paint, wood parings, the cool shadow of their growing hulls, the sound of hammers and hand saws, the wood being worked everywhere with century old hand tools, in those yards, are still in my mind.

What a wonderful set of memories, Jose. I recall on trips to India still seeing traditional wooden dhows being built by hand, as recently as 2013.

That is amazing, Jose. Is it a diorama?

J. Gafarot club has replied to RHH
Yes Ron, it is.
It is built on top of a table maybe 5 feet by 3 in a building actually placed exactly on the site of one of the former shipyards.
By the way, the village where I was born has that name Seixal which means "place of many seixos" ( fist sized round stones) which were used to make the balast of Vasco da Gama "Naus" when he made the first round trip to India across the Cabo da Boa Esperança…
It is a small world, my friend ...
